It’s time for another ‘What’s it like as a HulaFit Instructor’, where we chat with our fab instructors and get the scoop on their HulaFit journey. Next up in our Instructor series; Meet Caz! Based in Southampton, UK, Caz joined the HulaFit team in 2021. Since then her business ‘Caz’s Rock-a-hula’ has gone from strength to strength. We catch up with her and find out why she loves teaching HulaFit and her highlights so far.
When was the first time you picked up a hula hoop?
September 2014 – so 10 years ago! Although I would be lying if I didn’t mention I had one in the garage as a kid haha!
Why did you decide to train as a HulaFit instructor?
️I had been hula hooping for 7 years at this point when Covid hit and I was furloughed at home…then I saw the opportunity (to train) with Hulafit and thought this is the perfect time for me to see if I can learn some new skills to become an instructor. I had no expectation at that point of where it would go, I just wanted to be able to run classes if I could at the end of it.
How did you find the training experience?
It was amazing – it was really convenient being able to do it online from home, and Carla was so supportive throughout! I still have my notes from those sessions to refer back on if I ever need to refresh my brain
There is no greater feeling than being able to teach someone the techniques needed to hula hoop so they get that “I can do it!” feeling
When did you launch your classes?
I launched them online in June 2021, so 3 months after I did the training. That was enough time for me to get set up with everything I needed!
What’s been a highlight for you so far?
Definitely teaching at CarFest in 2022! That was the most amount of people I have taught and some great moments had and memories made sharing the Hulafit love.
What’s your favourite thing about teaching HulaFit
The sense that you have helped someone achieve something. There is no greater feeling than being able to teach someone the techniques needed to hula hoop so they get that “I can do it!” feeling! Plus I would be silly not to mention that I get a great workout as well when I’m teaching – win-win!
What do you love about being part of the HulaFit family?
That exact word – family! Everyone is so lovely and supportive. There is never any judgement, no question is a silly question and we often get to share ideas and help each other out. Plus there is the chance to be part of some amazing opportunities!
